Wow....that will be here before you know it. I am envious of all that beautiful island living for a couple of weeks. I love going anywhere beachy and especially love all the beautiful ocean when you get away from the states. I know you will have a great time. Try to think about us occasionally while you are soaking up sunshine.

That's awesome Diana!! Sounds like Marie and lots of other ladies out here swear by the fw!!! I am trying to get myself motivated to go up to my mom's and see if I can't get her's running!!! We'd love to see pictures when you get it!

Yep,

I definitely miss the beach. I'm starting to get excited. DH is going to have to work really hard to get me to come back to Maine LOL.

well, I found a 1953 Featherweight on eBay and put in a bid, the reserve hasn't been met so doubtful that I'll get it but who knows. Anyone sees a 1953 one that's my brth year and what I want, let me know. send me a msg here, it goes to my email and I check it all the time. might look for a 1929, year of my Mom's birth but don't think they started making them then, did they?

Debbie,

Try this link, The 221 Featherweights were made from 1933 to 1964. They have several machines that might be in your price range. I know I have been looking, but I still have not been able to buy either. The one they are showing is 499.00

I am new to this list, and posted this already once. Didn't get any responses......but I saw a red one at the Houston International Quilt Show and I really wanted a red one. I got my birth year......he has lot's of years to choose from. I love mine. It is the Candy Apple Red.....it hums right along........

I know that there are those that don't like refurbished......but I am very happy to have mine, sews great, and it is what I wanted........

Gloria,

I did go to the web site, when you first click on the link it brings up the fancy red ones that you got and I think the sticker shock of over $1000 is why no one kept looking, but I started to look around they do have the 222 model and the 221 model. The 222 is rare and they do not have price listings for that one. But the 221 Is a firm $595.00 for anyone looking. You have to call to get your year and model number for that year. They do have brand new cases for the machines for $65.
